Former Proud Boys national leader Enrique Tarrio is scheduled to be sentenced on Wednesday for orchestrating the far-right extremist group’s attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Prosecutors are seeking 33 years behind bars for Tarrio, who had already been arrested and ordered to leave Washington, D.C. by the time Proud Boys members joined thousands of Trump supporters in storming the Capitol as lawmakers met to certify2020 electoral victory. But prosecutors say he organized and led the group's assault from afar, inspiring followers with his charisma and penchant for propaganda.
“Using his powerful platform, Tarrio has repeatedly and publicly indicated that he has no regrets about what he helped make happen on January 6,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing. Trump, who is the Republican frontrunner for the 2024 nomination, insists he did nothing wrong. His trial is set for March 4.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly isn't bound by prosecutors' recommendation when he sentences Tarrio and seperately sentences former Proud Boys chapter leader Ethan Nordean on Wednesday in Washington's federal courthouse — which sits within view of the Capitol. Later this week, Kelly is scheduled to sentence three other Proud Boys members who wereTarrio, Nordean, Joseph Biggs and Zachary Rehl were convicted of seditious conspiracy.
